Kurds are not celebrating Eid Fitr

09 September 2010

Eid Fitr, the end of Ramadan, celebrations are cancelled in Kurdish cities in protest of killing of nine Kurdish guerillas in Van.

Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) cancelled all local party meetings to celebrate Eid Fitr. Most Kurds visited graves of fallen Kurdish guerillas. Thousands of Kurds laid flowers on tombstones and prayed in Diyarbakir, Hakkari, Siirt, Sirnak, Van, Agri and Erzurum.
